We leave Patti and Steve's home at 8am loaded down with guddies galore. They were exceptionally good to us, insisting on paying for everything including our car rental for the trip up to Oklahoma, and bringing us around for the while we were there.

Thanks a million Patti and Steve.

We arrive at Dallas/Fort Worth International about 4 hours later and return our car.

Our flight to Miami is relatively uneventful (with the exception of both of us being specially selected for a security check and have all our hand luggage and persons searched! V thorough!

On arrival in Miami the heat is incredible, we book into a "Days Inn" hotel where the staff are none too friendly. Its after 11 by the time we get checked in - wrecked!
